Wrote another story just too HOT for
Amazon, and by hot I mean full of slave rape, lots and lots and lots
of slave rape. Because really, if you are going to fantasize about
slaves having sex, part of the fantasy is that the slaves have to
have sex with their owners, or whomever their owners order them to
have sex with, like it or not. That's slavery, and that's sex
slavery. It's part of the fantasy.

But Amazon is not grown-up enough to
understand that, or rather, does not believe its corporate interests
are congruent with understanding that. They are willing to get in bed
with sex-negative feminists and prudes rather than work with the
authors who are driving most of the sales of indie books.

So it's off to Smashwords I go, where
I'm selling some books, but not nearly as much as I did with Amazon,
largely I think because Smashwords does not have a subscription
service like Kindle Unlimited to create additional revenues and drive
additional sales.

I'm studying the works of other authors
to try to determine how THEIR slavegirl fantasies manage to exist
inside Amazon's structures. So far, no answers, only questions. But
I'm sure I'll find a few answers down the road.

Meanwhile, we have “Pet Shop Slave
Girl #1: Katie, the first in a proposed series of stories dealing
with the lives of women living in the not-too-distant future in the
early stages of a post-scarcity society where almost everyone lives
on Basic Income because robots … well, the foreword to my story
explains it very nicely:

“The
year is circa 2116, and the Oligarch War has been over for about 50
years. Only it isn't called the Oligarch War any more, it's called
the Socialist Rebellion because the winners write history, especially
over the short term.

Millions
died in the Oligarch War, but those who survived are living wonderful
lives. All their basic needs are taken care of -- food, clothing and
shelter, at no cost. Almost everyone, even most members of the former
technological elites, is unemployed and unemployable due to
automation. But the same machines that displaced almost all human
workers build everything humans need, from homes to food to clothing
to gadgets and geegaws, with little or no need for human supervision
or assistance.

The
Basics, as the unemployable humans are called, couldn't afford to pay
for any of the things the machines produce and would be back in the
street shooting at oligarchs and dying by the many more millions in
short order, if not provided for. And the Oligarchs don't want that
... some few of the millions of Basics managed to kill a few hundred
Oligarchs (and tens of thousands of their minions) despite their
fleets of drones that can blanket the skies. The deaths of millions
of Basics is a statistic, but the death of a single Oligarch is a
tragedy.

Basics
get an allowance to buy the consumer goods that make some of the
Oligarchs rich, and making Oligarchs richer is the whole point of
Western civilization now that the Socialist Rebellion has been
quashed. It's a good life for the Basics unless you make a mistake
and do one of the few things that can get you kicked off Basic.”

Note
that I set the story about a century from now, and that I have a
civil war that kills millions occurring about fifty years from now. I
think such a war is unlikely, but I do think that if the present
trends toward increasing automation, increasing concentration of
wealth at the top, and the corporate oligarchs continue to use their
political clout to dismantle the social safety net and prevent the
construction of new nets, civil unrest of some kind will occur.
Something short of open warfare, perhaps, but certainly rioting,
protests, mass demonstrations, and other forms of protest.

But
it's hard to make any kind of definitive predictions about the future
because technological change is moving faster every day and will
almost certainly create changes that will throw my predictions
completely off. Over the scale of a century, it's almost inevitable.
I mean, the people who lived at the turn of the 20th
century walked or rode horses to get around, did not have access to
electricity except as an arcane scientific oddity, used chunks of ice
shipped in from the north to preserve their foods or put them in
underground cellars, had no mass media, and still had very high death
rates due to infant mortality, though modern sanitation was helping
reduce it.

At
the turn of the 21st century we have all these things,
plus computers, the Internet, the beginning of nanotechnology,
nuclear weapons (well not all change is good) air travel, satellites,
and manned trips to the moon. And things are probably going to move
FASTER in the next century. The predictions I have made are
absolutely TIMID compared to the changes that occurred over the
previous century.

Still
fun to think about, though.

From
what I'm saying you are probably thinking I have written a science
fiction story full of political implications disguised as porn …
and you'd be right. But the disguise is hardly superficial. The story
is FULL of sex slavery, slave rape and graphic erotic content. All
the science fiction content is hidden away in the background.

Our
protagonist, Katie, has little or no interest in the history and
origins of the world she lives in. As a young woman on Basic Income,
with all her needs provided for without effort on her or anyone
else's part, her whole life is concerned with hanging out with her
friends, buying clothes and geegaws, or better yet getting boys to
buy them for her by dating them and having sex with them, which she
thoroughly enjoys even without the lovely presents from boys.

When
she screws up and winds up off Basic Income and forced to become a
Pet Shop girl on sale to anyone with the means to buy her, Katie
finds her life considerably less agreeable … but not wholly
disagreeable. It may be slave sex, but it's still sex with a boy, and
Katie likes sex with boy, even if she's bound, gagged, hooded and has
a … well, read the book and find out.

Here's
the blurb:

Katie
couldn't believe it. There had always been a way out for a clever,
pretty little thing like her, no matter how badly she screwed up.

But
now here she was, standing in the window at the local Pet Shop,
wearing nothing but a collar, cuffs and shackles, looking out at the
customers, any of whom might buy her at any moment. Her old life on
Basic Income seemed like an idyll now … living free, no work, no
responsibilities, spending all her time shopping, visiting with
friends, and dating boys. Boys who gave a girl nice toys if they
liked you.

And
all the boys liked Katie. She was pretty and she liked boys and she
having sex with boys. It had been a wonderful life for clever Katie,
until the day Katie got a little too clever for her own good and did
one of the few things that would get her kicked off Basic ... and
into a Pet Shop, where girls were sold to the wealthy elite who could
afford them.

Katie
has no control over who will buy her, and when she is purchased she
will have to do whatever her purchaser wants her to do. Which is very
likely to involve sex. Lots of it. And any way her owner wants it,
whether she likes it or not. They used to call it “rape” and
“bondage.” Now it was “the privilege of ownership” and if
bondage was involved, well that too was a privilege of ownership. And
you had to do something bad to get owned, everyone knew that, so how
could anyone object? Katie can't.

Whatever
will clever Katie do now, other than whatever her owner wants?
